City of Savannah holds groundbreaking, ribbon cutting for 2 new police precincts

Ahead of this week's official de-merger of the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department, the city of Savannah hosted two ceremonies Tuesday morning, signaling the start of two new police precincts.

The first was a groundbreaking for a brand new Central Precinct off Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard between 33rd and 34th streets. The second ceremony held was a ribbon cutting to officially open the new Eastside Precinct off Victory Drive.
